Ah you sure did, it rubbed liked crazy for some reason tho, bad enough that I couldnt make left turns in fear of ripping it off. You should be seeing it again soon

Not even the top ones? I couldnt bolt it back in the stock locations the way it was. I had to remove all the blocks and lower it back down to get it out so I could install the brackets. That could be why your AC line got screwed up

I didn't read the whole thread but here's some pointers for ya dump the nuts Ford uses stock the ones that hold themselves against the frame so they don't spin. Replace them with regular nuts and washers. on more than half the b/l's we've done p/a didn't give all the right size bolts, so do what you can and hit up the hardware store for the rest. do the bed get it aligned then do the cab one side at a time, but don't wrench any thing tight untill you're all done so you can move the cab around to aligned it to the bed if ya gota. When you're done make sure you check all your hoses and lines under the hood. When we did mine I pulled the ultimate rookie mistake and didn't do that. Poped the hood gave a quick glance and fired the truck up. Well I didn't catch my a/c line resting on the belt and kaboom!!! NO A/C! I was twisted!

interesting never had a problem with bolts over 10+ lifts i have been around to install. there is different size bolts and if you put them in the right spots there is no problems.

those "dumb nuts" are called J-clips. and if there not plagued by rust they work great no need to replace them.

Maybe thats our problem we're to impatient? Anyway I may have exagerated but it does seem more often than not we don't get all the right ones.

how in hell did you strip them... if you thread the bolt in by hand first like you are supposed to there is no way to strip them..
when we have done body lifts even the last one on a truck that is 10 years old we used a 2 1000lb/ft impact guns and you still start deforming the bed before those strip.
no offense but maybe you guys need some help next time.. you have issues i have never heard of before..
